Chapter 217: Fatal Temptation

~8 min read 1,447 words

Seeing Sun Qian swing his sword to cut the rope.

The hearts of the four people besides Wu Xian suddenly jumped into their throats, and Yan Bingbing even covered her mouth and almost screamed.

Click!

The peach wood sword swung down swiftly, but the rope only bounced, and not even a single fiber was hurt.

The millennium peach wood sword had an outstanding effect in killing ghosts.

But the rope wasn't a ghost!

Letting Sun Qian use this thing to cut the rope was really too difficult for him, so Sun Qian swung it a few times without making the rope lose any blood.

But Wu Xian's face still looked ugly.

Sun Qian being bewitched meant that stuffing cotton into his ears was useless at all; the jumping ghost's ability could pass through simple obstacles.

Then Wu Xian was shocked.

He immediately realized that although Sun Qian couldn't cut the rope, he and Shi Ji could cut it!

"Discard the blades!"

Wu Xian threw his Ghost-Head Blade away and snatched Shi Ji's Filth-One-Character to throw it away too.

This way, even if they were controlled, they couldn't do anything to their ropes, but this also meant they lost their effective means of attacking malevolent entities.

Then Wu Xian turned to look at Shi Ji.

Next, he wanted to test how a bewitched person could lift the control.

Slap!

He gave Sun Qian a heavy slap on the face.

"Wake up!"

After eating a big slap, Sun Qian was still confused, without any intention of waking up.

This showed that pain couldn't stop the ghost's bewitchment, and the method of avoiding the ability through self-harm didn't work.

While Wu Xian was pondering.

Yan Bingbing suddenly reminded him.

"He moved, the ghost changed targets!"

Wu Xian scanned the display screen and found that the jumping ghost's target this time was Shi Ji.

Shi Ji also discovered the ghost's purpose.

So his body started moving chaotically, making dodging moves from basketball, but his ear position changed unpredictably, but the ghost's movements were faster than Shi Ji's, and Shi Ji almost got touched several times.

He could only take out two Yellow Pills and stuff them into his ears, wanting to break the jumping ghost's ability by relying on filth.

While Shi Ji was struggling.

Wu Xian was sweating slightly.

Now the jumping ghost had changed targets, Sun Qian still hadn't woken up, which meant his ability was a type that took continuous effect and could continuously affect multiple targets.

Once Shi Ji and Wu Xian were bewitched again, they would be finished!

So Wu Xian felt like retreating.

He planned to jump out of the range while he hadn't been hit yet, then use the rope to pull Sun and Shi back, and after they two woke up, then discuss the method to deal with the jumping ghost from the long term.

"Wait, range..."

Wu Xian's eyes lit up.

"Got it!"

Wu Xian swung his arm around and punched Sun Qian in the stomach, making his body arch, then pushed with all his might, and Sun Qian retreated out of the jumping ghost's influence range.

But what Wu Xian didn't expect was that even after being far away from the window, Sun Qian still wanted to walk toward the window, which meant the bewitchment effect was still taking effect after leaving the window range...

Wu Xian didn't dare to test any further.

Hurriedly jumped out of the range.

At the same time Wu Xian jumped out, Shi Ji was also hit.

Shi Ji had Yellow Pills stuffed in his ears, but he still didn't escape the jumping ghost's ability; he walked toward the window with longing, luckily being pulled by the rope, otherwise he would have jumped out and fallen to his death.

And at the position Wu Xian was just at, the jumping ghost was standing with a look of regret.

It was almost able to make Wu Xian hit too.

"Quick, help me pull Shi Ji back!"

Yan Bingbing and An Haisheng, who didn't care about filming at this moment, pulled Shi Ji and Sun Qian, who had already been bewitched, back with the four of them, and pressed them firmly to the ground.

The two struggled desperately to jump off the building, the four struggled desperately to stop them, and after a full few minutes of tossing, making everyone exhausted, these two finally woke up, with lingering fear on their faces.

Shi Ji coughed lightly and told everyone about his experience just now.

"After the jumping ghost's mouth aimed at my ear, it told me to look out the window, saying there was something I wanted there."

"I turned my head to look out the window and saw a beautiful fairy in purple; I clearly didn't know her, but I felt she was very close, as if she was the person destined for me."

"I was blank in my brain at the time, and desperately wanted to rush over..."

Wu Xian panted slightly, sitting in a chair and closing his eyes to ponder.

Based on the failure experience just now, he quickly thought of two possibilities again; the possibility of the jumping ghost influencing people should be two types.

One is vision.

One is hearing.

The visual inference came from the things Shi Ji and Sun Qian saw, which were all their deepest desires, but as long as their eyes were covered, maybe they wouldn't see them.

In addition, cotton didn't work, which only meant the sound insulation performance of that thing wasn't good enough; Shi Ji stuffing Yellow Pills in his ears didn't work, possibly because the filth of the Yellow Pills was only outside the ears, but the sound acted directly on the eardrum.

They pondered and discussed simply for a while, and then conducted a second attempt.

The assignment of tasks was still the same as before.

Wu Xian and the three covered their eyes, entered the range to kill the ghost, Yan Bingbing and Zhu Shuhui were responsible for dragging the lost people back, and An Haisheng was responsible for observing the situation.

Since all three had their eyes covered, there was no need for anyone to hold a mirror.

Out of safety considerations, Wu Xian and Shi Ji couldn't carry weapons, so the main attacker for this action became Sun Qian, who was holding the peach wood sword.

The three of them covered their eyes with eye masks made of bed sheets, groped in the dark and moved forward, and Wu Xian was still tightly gripping something in his hand.

"The ghost appeared!"

"The target is Mr. Wu!"

Wu Xian's heart tightened, and the thing in his hand gripped tight.

"Look out the window, there is something you want there..."

Wu Xian finally heard the jumping ghost's voice, which sounded as hoarse and unpleasant as a broken bellows, making people feel irritable and uneasy.

But as soon as Wu Xian heard this sound, he couldn't help but look out the window; even with the cloth strip covering his eyes, Wu Xian still vaguely saw the scenery outside the window.

Ordinary buildings.

Ordinary streets.

Ordinary sky...

Everything was the same as the real world, but Wu Xian's heart suddenly felt a palpitation.

The inexplicable obsession with the blessed land, which had disappeared after entering the blessed land, suddenly appeared again; he longed for the city outside and wanted to go there and walk around in person.

But because his eyes were covered, Wu Xian couldn't see clearly, so he hadn't reached the point of losing his mind; he raised his hand to be level with his ear.

The thing he had been tightly gripping since he entered...

Was a gun!

Besides the submachine gun, Wu Xian was also equipped with a pistol when he entered.

The sound of firing a gun was enough to make people temporarily deaf!

Bang!

Wu Xian fired a shot against his own ear, and suddenly he could only hear a buzzing sound; the jumping ghost's sound disappeared, and the obsession that had risen in his heart earlier stopped.

The effect of this shot made Wu Xian confirm.

The jumping ghost's ability influenced a mixture of vision and hearing, but hearing was the main influence channel; as long as the ears couldn't hear sound temporarily, one could get rid of its influence!

Wu Xian took off the cloth strip, fired a few more shots, shaking everyone in the room until their ears felt numb, and then a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"The jumping ghost's ability has been cracked; next, we should think of a way to kill it!"
